The Sound of Kindness cover

This heartwarming book touches on the themes of kindness and socio-emotional resonance, and the idea that our words matter.

Follow an adult and child as they explore their neighborhood, listening for the sounds of kindness. Words of friendship, gratitude, support, generosity, and love...we can see and hear them if we try. What will you hear if you take a kindness walk?

Kindness is all around us every day, if we know where to look for it—and listen! This book is a gentle and encouraging acknowledgment of how much it matters to be kind...in our families, friendships, and communities.

A parent and child go for a walk in their neighborhood, finding examples of kindness in the dialogue they hear… Martínez’s illustrations effectively highlight the parent and child and the people interacting in each spread… Inspiration to find—and perhaps spread—acts of kindness in our world. -- Kirkus Reviews
